Economic Census deadline is Feb. 12

In December, the U.S. Census Bureau mailed Economic Census forms to more than 4 million businesses. If you received a form, the law requires you complete and return it by Feb. 12.

Economic indicators we use all the time — like Gross Domestic Product, monthly retail sales, and the producer price index — all depend on the Economic Census for continued accuracy. The data are also used by businesses large and small, and by your community.
